Neat and interesting too Kip - I've read both books and while IE has

much 'more' information, I loved OO better. The way I think of it, OO

is a great 'starting' book and IE is THE reference/manual for

returning to more normal eating.

I found out the same thing when I was legalizing chocolate - if Iet

the supply go in the house, I would end up eating MORE when I

re-stocked. Right now I have 4 packages of mixed chocolate mini-bars

sitting in my cabinets and I haven't an interest in one bite. So

comforting to know that! Let us know how keeping stocked up works for

you

of the same info as Intuitive Eating but is presented in a different

way.  I read the chapter about legalizing food on Saturday and

something clicked!  Most of you know about my recent struggles with

legalizing chips.  Well this book says to buy a lot of whatever food

you are legalizing and then restock when your supplies get low.  I've

been missing the restock part!  I've been trying to legalize by buying

a bunch of chips and then after they are gone waiting a day or two and

then going and buying more..  I need to buy more before they are all

gone just so I know they will always be there to eat!  So yesterday I

went to a bulk foods store and bought a great big bag of snack mix

which I love.  And at the grocery store I bought 2 bags of Doritos. 

When the snack mix gets 1/2 gone I am going to go get more and when 1

bag of Doritos is gone I am going to go buy more.  It was

than I could eat in one evening so I didn't feel compelled to eat it

all just so it would be gone.

is that I bought it from Amazon when I bought Intuitive Eating over 2

years ago!  I got a deal when I bought them both.  But for some reason

I've never read this one...I think because it's just a plain boring

looking paperback book.  I've gotten a lot of useful information out

of it though and I'm planning to order their other book When Women

Stop Hating Their Bodies.
